My co-workers and I all ask for liquid soap as well as things like clorox wipes, hand wipes, paper towels, plastic baggies, etc etc. Granted I'm in a major city, but I had a lot of cleaning to do in my classroom last week. We have construction going on outside the building so there's dust everywhere not to mention reminders of the rodents and critters who live in the building too. My school is very lucky and we have plenty of actual office supplies which is good. Some of my friends have to buy their own chart paper and what not for their class. There are certain basics every classroom here should have and well don't get me started on how unfair this city system is. Even if you can get most of the supplies from the school, teachers like to have extras on hand so things can be replaced quickly. I have to keep folders for each subject for my students as well as folders for my observations of their behavior and progress and color coding all that is WONDERFUL.
I braved Staples this evening (such a stupid mistake!) and the place was CRAZY with parents getting ready for NYC's first day tomorrow.
